Advent Of Code 2018

Note by the Moderators: This topic is for general discussion about the Advent of Code 2018.

To prevent people from being spoiled about specific challenges if they don’t want to, each day has been given its own topic. Please post information about a specific challenge there:


Happy December! :christmas_tree:

Is anyone here using Elixir for the 2018 Advent Of Code? I just finished the day 1 challenge and found using a functional language to be a great fit for the problem. You can see my solutions here: https://github.com/connorlay/advent_of_code_2018

Cheers!

Even though I didn’t plan on doing AoC this year, after solving one task I got hooked :slight_smile:
Based on the experience from the past year, I decided to consolidate my solutions into a single mix project. This allowed me to extract some common helper (e.g. Enum helpers), which helped me clean up the code of the actual solutions, and make it a bit more expressive (e.g. see my take on day 1)
